New Blogpost: Where we like to knit
If you click on the "About" tab of this website, you will see that I have a gallery of places where I like to knit, courtesy of my husband Tim's photos. Well, it's time to add another photo to that collection! This time Tim has captured a lovely photo of both Anna and I knitting in Sweden. In the photo, I have just started a new pink scarf using the yarn that I was straightening in my last blogpost. Then by co-incidence, Anna has also just cast on a new project! This is going to be a soft cowl in a beautiful variegated green yarn.
It has been gloriously sunny and warm during our visit to Sweden this year and it has been so enjoyable to be able to sit and knit by the side of the lake. In the photo above, we are in the gardens of Grönsöö Palace on the shores of Lake Mälaren just to the west of Stockholm. Please click here to read more about this beautiful place and see some of Tim's photos...

Blogpost: Straightening Crinkly Yarn
New pattern – Somertide Placemats
The essence of summer, these placemats recall days relaxing after a stroll along the shore, gathering seashells or sitting watching the ocean waves. With colours reminiscent of white sandy beaches, coral-tinted seashells, the sea and the sky, the Somertide Placemats set the scene for a summer lunch by the pool.
The placemats are worked using two stands of a crisp cotton/linen yarn held together and the pattern includes instructions for four different sizes of placemats together with a set of matching coasters. For more information about this new pattern, please click here.
